Hey folks,

After over 20+ years of building RapidWeaver add-ons, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step away from RapidWeaver/Stacks development.

The good news: my products are staying alive and well. I’ve handed everything over to **Joe Workman** , and he’ll be taking care of sales and support going forward. Joe knows this community inside and out, and I couldn’t think of a better person to take things on.

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who’s supported my work over the years. It’s been a fun ride, and I’ve really appreciated all the conversations, feedback, and encouragement along the way.

Thanks again for everything — and here’s to whatever comes next!

Hey @yabdab,

I know the past few years have been rough with the transition to Elements, but I wanted to publicly say thank you for everything you’ve contributed over the years. Your work has been a big part of the RapidWeaver world and it’s helped a lot of people build better sites.

I have fond memories of the times we met up for Macworld and WWDC over the years. Anyways, wishing you all the best with whatever you choose to do next. You’ll always be welcome here, so I hope you pop in from time-to-time ☺

All the best,  
Dan

I’m sorry to hear that you are leaving… congratulations on your positive efforts to the rapid weaver community - I bought many of your products over the years…

You will be missed…

Best wishes in whatever you decide to do next!

Hi @yabdab,

I remember some of the first third-party plugins I purchased for RapidWeaver were your Loom products (FormLoom, PayLoom, etc.). Very well made and a great addition to the toolkit.

Thanks for all your contributions to the community over the years and wishing you great success in whatever comes next! 🍀
